Rodrigo y Gabriela announce self titled third album release, new single and Irish dates.
Mexican virtuoso acoustic guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela release their third album on February 17th on Rubyworks Records, and return to Ireland with a string of live dates to support the release.
“Rodrigo y Gabriela†is produced by John Leckie (Muse, Radiohead, My Morning Jacket) and the artistes themselves. It was recorded in the UK in the late summer of 2005, and features nine new tracks – seven Rod & Gab originals and two covers – Metallica´s “Orion†and Led Zeppelin´s “Stairway To Heavenâ€. All the instrumentation on the album comes from Rodrigo y Gabriela´s guitars, with the exception of guest gypsy violinist Roby Lakatos, who contributes a blistering solo to “Ixtapaâ€.
The album will be initially released as a limited edition CD with bonus DVD package; the DVD includes exclusive interviews, bonus live tracks, a guitar tutorial from Rod & Gab and a Mexico picture gallery.
A single – “Tamacun†– will precede the album, and will be released on very limited edition 7†‘dinked´ vinyl plus hand finished sleeve and download on February 3rd.
